Unearth Hidden Treasures and Secret Trails on California’s Gold Country Road Trip — Your Ultimate Adventure Awaits!
Volunteer at Wakamatsu Farm
El Dorado was full of surprises, including Wakamatsu Farm…the site of the first Japanese Colony in the USA and the birthplace of the first Japanese-American. The former tea and silk farm from 1869 is now run by the American River Conservancy as a dynamic cultural center with a Japanese Tea house, native garden, a museum to the early settlers, and an events space hosting everything from concerts to fishing nights on the pond.
At HoneyTrek, we always like to give back to the communities we visit, so when we heard about Wakamatsu Workdays, we were thrilled to join their latest project. The courtyard that hosts many of their concerts needed a more polished Japanese aesthetic, so we built a rock garden alongside their awesome volunteer crew! See their events calendar for how you can get involved at Wakamatsu and with the American River Conservancy’s many dynamic projects to protect the American River and upper Cosumnes River watersheds for future generations.
